Today's timeline is experiencing meme death. Where "tell me your..." variations have just swamped everything. And sure some of it amuses/outrages, but it kinda overwhelms too.

Pop Will Eat Itself 10 years since their last release, PWEI are back with this electro punk banger, a firm live favourite and the first track from their new project. “Bruiser was inspired by a classic Aussie rock track,...

Pop Will Eat Itself just released a new album, "Delete Everything". It's still very PWEI, unlike most "wait 10 years" albums in the electronic/industrial world it doesn't feel phoned in at all so far, It's not This Is The Day, but it's a solid PWEI album. pwei.bandcamp.com

snapshot of the playlist so you can see for yourself.

some nights i'll get that bandcamp won't play, don't know if its a connection thing or a server thing. but i've settled tonight for rigging up the jukebox and selected the "grow" list. each device gets a "grow" list, great but not obvious tracks. on this device the list is only 17 tracks, but loving

Ah. Good length for just enjoying in a day. And yeah, I know brain fry, so much of work recently is commenting contract documents and it is really exhausting!

Wait I dig this remake of Neal Stephenson’s SNOW CRASH.

I picked up book 1 because of the cover, i love Eleanor's work. But I definitely enjoyed enough to pre-order this new one. As I said earlier, I've started reading, did 1st 3 chapters before bed last night and have it sitting beside my (decaf) coffee just now.

A tiny little rat figure at the bottom of a page tells: “I AM NOT A FLY ON THE WALL IN THE ROOMS OF POWER (I AM A RAT WITH RAT THINGS TO DO) SO I DON’T KNOW THIS FOR CERTAIN. BUT I AM PRETTY FUCKING AURE A LOT OF THE BULLSHIT CHOICES - MADE FOR SHORT TERM GAINS AND GREED - THAT HAVE LED US TO THIS COLLECTIVE HELL WERE NOT ACTUALLY THE ONLY OPTION. THIS DISGUSTS ME.” Little rat is clearly quite irritated.

Right. Sketchbooking done for now. Time to go do the nice drawing.

A pen and ink drawing. Panel One: A woman sits in a chair reading happily in a book-filled room. A voice offstage says "You can't survive on books alone" The woman replies "Maybe I can!" Panel Two: "How?" asks the voice "I don't know yet, but I'm sure the answer will be in one of my books." Says the woman Panel Three: Caption: However The book is filled with yet more books. A skull sits on the chair. It says "I regret nothing!"
